What are you afraid of?
"Meaninglessness"
Get to the core now:
"That I can't live up to this"
"I feel it's all subjective"
What is your course?
"Get better than this
Whatever this is"
Science is not your savior
So learn to accept
All the things about you
That make you who you are
"I'm terrified of dying"
Enjoy what you have now
"What about my family?"
Be humble and mindful
"Free will
I found you
In the words of care
But he doesn't know
Me"
If people pray
before a NASCAR race
will God extend
his hand to save?
Or is there
Responsibility
In the midst of
His grace?
"You'll be fine"
OCD and everything
You feel about the people
We know intrusive thoughts are common
Enhance perspective
Don't take yourself so
Seriously

Robin egg blue the color of the pill
Swallowed with the bitter truth
Lemon rind peel the garnish
For the glass of Absolut
This fiction is a prison I write
Bars are closing in short drive
Street lights flashing by me now
How fatefully I've arrived
I take my pills twice daily
I read the news, I had my tea
Journal feelings, go walking
I watch sunset, come find me
A symmetry of silence fills the air
Ivory towers crumbling prayer
Short the syllables last line
Fit the meter, pop the mic
Seduce me through a series of
Impalpably skipped heart beats
I don't why I even try
Wistfully wander through memories
I drink my six glasses down
Smoke stack winding softly now
Get your protein, greens and brown
Comb my hair, smiling clown
Who's that in the mirror?
I don't know.
Who's that in the mirror?
I don't know
I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
Wish I could unlearn it all
Deprogram from this, I'm going mad
Robin egg blue the color of the pill
Swallowed with the bitter truth
Lemon rind peel the garnish
For the glass of Absolut

I feel a parabolic rise to
Nothing I ever wanted
And I'm gripped with
An inescapable fear
Of this blue poison
Will it kill me here?
At first, I admit
I was dancing
Then it all took
A turn for the worse
And I learned the things
You think you're searching for
Are cast by shadows
Craving much more
This matrix is killing me
Big bang geometric symmetry
Come one, come all I'm sorry
I partook of this
In Lily's eyes I saw death
Only overjoyed by my own
Helplessness
As the trees bend in the wind
Why Must I suffer endlessly?
Sisyphus drowning in the sea
When I accepted my fractal theory
Cyclic nature of all reality
The heart kept on ticking out it's beats
Titan running faster, splitting hairs for me
And that's when I lost it all
In Lily's eyes staring up at me
When will it ever finally be found?
The reasons for this anxiety

Bodies in bloom with Barbie
In her pink plastic world
Honey dark skin is glowing
When did you straighten your curls?
You've grown accustomed to
Double helix bar prisons
Uncomfortable flickers
Wishing for blue eyes, white skin
You future writer for the New York Times
Comedian shaking on an open mic
Astronaut of linguistics so shy
Oh you know how to talk down to him
Manic pixie dream girl
Loved like a hotel room
You shared in Disney World
When his mania cleared the gloom
Dilatory distressed
Necessary breathing
When it all crashes down
Will you regret not leaving?
You lover from a different time
Forgiveness smooth as a poets rhymes
His little heart leaks violent crimes
Passive aggressive he talks down to you
Acceptance is the first step
Down the long spiral stairwell
To the fist you're reaching for
To all your dreams you'll say farewell
An endless cycle swirling
Like soap water down the drain
With your little black curls
That refuse to suffer the pain
You nobody taught you how to love yourself
Dora Maar weeping into glass tissues
The void you're trying to fill inside
Oh you know how to talk down to yourself

BOT 8000 (2021 Remaster)
04:53
|

Bot 8000:
A world of endless musical creativity
Time is never ending, your imagination never stops
Feel the music
Feel ever bone in your body
Synthesizer wash
In a hazy dream
Guitar fuzz and four
pounding drum machines
Then I woke up
BOT 8000 was a lie
Now I'm trying to go back to it
Who knows what I'll find?
Kill the headlights
Take it all in
All this beauty
Is coming to an end

I hope you catch all the green light
On your long drive home
I hope you never have to
Dance all night alone
And I hope one day when your hands are so wrinkled
You'll have another one to hold
And maybe you'll think of me
On a winter's night when the air is so cold
Have a little mercy, have a little mercy
Have a little mercy on me
Have a little mercy, have a little mercy
Have a little mercy on me
The acrid stench of regret
Trying to was my hands of it
Biting my tongue tonight
Skyrocket heart crashed the plan
Goodbye now, goodbye
Goodbye now, goodbye
Goodbye now, goodbye
Goodbye now, goodbye
|

This is all I know
But if you wanna take it as a lie
Go ahead, I can't stop you
Or give in to fight
And all the red words
There by design
Words to touch your heart
Draw you closer to our creator most high
We still care about you
Staring at a ceiling fan I'm
Trying to focus on one blade
Follow it a while before
My interest quickly fades
Where did you go?
On your bookshelf of comedians?
Good chance
You're not coming back
Reaching out
Did you really find freedom?
Looking back
To You

Bespoke by words unsaid
The catching of her eye
So persistent these feelings
She won't deny
A passerby on a night out
Ten pins to her heart
I know she cried
But I trust she is smart
Talks of distant lands
Scrambling making plans
All makes sense now
Her boy is heaven sent
Caged up tight to fly away
When the chance arrives
Head full of fantasies
Of what makes her feel alive
Talks of distant lands
Scrambling making plans
It all makes sense now
Her boy is heaven sent
Take her little hand in yours
It'll only kill you
A thousand slow deaths on
A long road winding

When I first I laid my eyes on you
Your beauty shining so bright
I couldn't help but wonder to myself
Should I go say "Hi"?
But when I saw your smile
I knew I was where I belonged
When you told me you loved me
For the first time
When I got close to you
I almost got too scared
I was falling so fast
For how you truly cared
What more can I say?
That I don't tell you every day
You changed my life for the better
Now you're my love forever
When I wake up next to you
I know I'm where I belong
You are life in me
That gives my life song

Phaser (2021 Remaster)

|

Hey, play those chords
The ones that make me feel alive
And I've got Phaser on repeat
Sometimes it's all I wanna hear
Listening to Everglazed
Oh brought me to tears
Wish you the best my friend
Wishing you were here
Is England cold this time of year?
Sing your songs I'm looking forward
To so much more
In paradise

Capitalism, mayhem
Banana boats, and Bethlehem
Free ride, brain dead
Dancing shoes feel dread
So don't tell me about history
Philosophy, ooh-oh
Stars explode, a mystery
Why'd I stay here?
Circuit wired frames and beer
If I'm being completely honest
Three sheets to wind because you're so facetious
Marxism is murdered, but it rises like a phoenix
Manufactured cash, death of all reason
But how can you go an deny the thoughts of the most high?
When you take your guns and then you'll run yeah
I believe
Because I want to believe

Hey, do you remember? (remember)
Beach Boys playing on the stereo (stereo)
On the drive down (home)
And I don't even know
How to explain at all (how do I explain?)
Yeah (ooh)
So where did it go? (where did it go?)
That sense on innocence you came to know (to know)
And why's it so hard for you to just open and and say what's on your mind?
I remember days
When the sun shined to much brighter
Than they ever did today (today)
Is what's lost (what's lost)
(ever able to come back again?)
Like an albatross or a millstone around your neck
Driving you further away
To the currents of
A distance grace
